Allahabad HC corrupted; judges get transfer order

New Delhi, Nov 27: Hearing about several corruption charges against some of the judges in the Allahabad High Court, the Supreme Court on Nov 26 ordered the High Court's chief justice to transfer some of the incorrigible.

"The Allahabad High Court really needs some house cleaning (both Allahabad and Lucknow Bench)," stated the Supreme Court in its order.

"We are sorry to say a lot of complaints are coming against certain judges of the Allahabad High Court relating to their integrity. Some judges have their kith and kin practicing in the same court," stated the SC.

The court also added, "and within a few years of starting practice the sons or relations of the judges become multi-millionaires, have huge bank balances, luxurious cars, huge houses and enjoy a luxurious life."
